In The Eye

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder” she wrote

After I spun the tale of Belarusian flirting,
Which is done through excessive asserting
Of one's eye upon another's,
She and I stared

Each at the other
At alternating points.

Either looked away
When gazes crossed.

She journeys to the coast
In two days.

Here I study.
I remain

But with her beauty in mind's eye.
